Recapturing the Magic with Magic 2010

Recapturing the Magic with Magic 2010 : Daily MTG : Magic: The Gathering
hink about games that are popular today. Most either have an incredibly simple top-line concept, like Tetris or hearts, or they deliver a strong flavor that draws upon a lot of your prior understanding of a topic or genre, like Madden NFL, Grand Theft Auto, or Agricola—flavor that helps you quickly process the bevy of rules these games contain. Before you ever played Madden, you knew a decent amount about football, and it all came to life on the screen; no one had to explain to you what a “wide receiver” or a “fake punt” or “encroachment” was.

As we here at Wizards perpetually rethink and examine all that we’re doing with an eye toward getting more and more new people into Magic, the game is committing to once again embrace that level of flavor. Most of our potential players know a good deal about traditional fantasy; when they play our game, it should feel as though the fantasy they know is coming to life.
